I've got both AdBlock and Ghostery installed in Safari and Firefox, but Little Snitch reacts vastly differently as respects the two browsers...
Launching Safari gets me to where I'm going almost immediately, with no more than a LS pop-up or two, while launching Firefox conjures up a ridiculous number of them, which adds a considerable amount of obnoxiously demanded time to my browsing.
By way of example, when I launch Firefox I'm inundated with requests to connect to all sorts of Mozilla whatevers, safe-browsing whatevers, and add-on whatevers, whereas I get absolutely no similarly themed requests in Safari, and in the same vein, visiting WQXR.org in Firefox calls up more pop-ups than I've ever cared to count, while visiting it in Safari doesn't call up any. (63 of my 244 LS rules relate to Firefox, whereas only 7 relate to Safari.)
Have I missed some setting, or is this just the nature of the beast?
Thanks.
More: These two Safari rules have no Firefox equivalents; could they account for the difference?
1. Port 80 (http) is the default port for webservers. With this rule you will be able to visit most of the common (non-encrypted) websites with Safari.
2. Port 443 (https) is the default port for secure webservers. With this rule you will be able to connect to typical secure websites with Safari.
Still more: That's it! I created those two rules for Firefox and deleted all my others, and I'm good to go...same as with Safari, I imagine.
